Figure 5. Bdnf Overexpression Rescued Dendritic Atrophy Caused by Mecp2 Knockdown, Increasing Dendritic Length as much as in BDNF-Transfected Neurons.

Figure 5

A. Representative examples of neurons transfected with an shRNA control plasmid, an shRNA plasmid to knockdown endogenous Mecp2, and a plasmid to overexpress Bdnf (scale bar = 10μm). For quantitative morphological analyses, neurons were co-transfected with eGFP (green) or stained with anti-α-tubulin antibodies (blue). B. Population data on axonal length and branch points. C. Population data on dendritic length and branch points.
